The issue? Cell lines. These cells are crucial for lab research on the toxicity of medical drugs, and the production of proteins. Knowing exactly which cell lines are being studied is absolutely necessary.

“Recent estimates suggest that between 20 percent and 36 percent of cell lines scientists use are contaminated or misidentified — passing off as human tissue cells that in fact come from pigs, rats, or mice, or in which the desired human cell is tainted with unknown others. But despite knowing about the issue for at least 35 years, the vast majority of journals have yet to put any kind of disclaimer on the thousands of studies affected.”

“One cell line involved are the so-called HeLa cells. These cancerous cervical cells — named for Henrietta Lacks, from whom they were first cultured in the early 1950s — are ubiquitous in labs, proliferate wildly — and, it turns out, contaminate all manner of cells with which they come into contact. Two other lines in particular, HEp-2 and INT 407, are now known to have been contaminated with HeLa cells, meaning scientists who thought they were working on HEp-2 and INT 407 were in fact likely experimenting on HeLa cells.”

“Christopher Korch, a geneticist at the University of Colorado, has studied the issue. According to Korch, nearly 5,800 articles in 1,182 journals may have confused HeLa for HEp-2; another 1,336 articles in 271 journals may have mixed up HeLa with INT 407. Together, the 7,000-plus papers have been cited roughly 214,000 times, Science reported last year.”

“And that’s just two cell lines. All told, more than 400 cell lines either lack evidence of origin or have become cross-contaminated with human or other animal cells at some point in their laboratory lineage. Cell lines are often chosen for their ability to reproduce and be bred for long periods of time, so they’re hardy buggers that can move around a lab if they end up on a researcher’s gloves, for example. ‘It’s astonishingly easy for cell lines to become contaminated,’ wrote Amanda Capes-Davis, chair of the International Cell Line Authentication Committee, in a guest post for Retraction Watch. ‘When cells are first placed into culture, they usually pass through a period of time when there is little or no growth, before a cell line emerges. A single cell introduced from elsewhere during that time can outgrow the original culture without anyone being aware of the change in identity’.”

Getting the picture?

HUGE numbers of published studies are based on knowing which cells are being used and tested. And much of the time, the researchers don’t know. They pretend they do, but they don’t.

Their work is completely unreliable.

Everyone involved (for decades) looks the other way.

It’s the secret no one wants to talk about.

Thousands and thousands and thousands of medical studies are useless, and their conclusions are unfounded, and turn out to be random.

This is like saying, “Well, we built all those buildings in the city, but the concrete we used was probably cardboard. Let’s not talk about it. Let’s just wait and see what happens.”

Millions of patients who are taking drugs are guinea pigs. Researchers originally tested the toxicity of drugs on cells they assumed were relevant, but they were wrong. They said the drugs were safe, but they were working with cells that had no bearing on safety.

This is one reason why, on July 26, 2000, Dr. Barbara Starfield, a highly respected public health expert at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, could conclude, in the Journal of the American Association, that FDA approved medical drugs kill 106,000 Americans every year—which becomes a MILLION deaths per decade.

The original researchers on those drugs pretended they knew what they were doing.

Another problem with the in vitro cell studies is the context-less feature, of attempting to use a single cell type. In vivo, cells of any particular special type, be they neurones, muscle cells, liver cells, immune cells of various types, etc are never alone. In vivo, cells of any particular type are always in a context with other cell types, of various sorts. They are contacting, communicating, and interacting, affecting each other, and other cell types are affecting the cells of interest. The in vitro single cell type studies lose this feature, and so aren’t directly applicable to the real in vivo activity. That’s not to say that the in vitro cell studies are all bad, it is simply to say that the results are special cases, that may have nothing to do with the real world. Similar considerations occur in the in vitro biochemical assays, that are even more restricted than the in vitro cell assays.

So if they are questioning this then it’s worth questioning because at the same time the Liberal Fact Checking site Snopes is calling this topic False, and Snopes is VERY protective of Monsanto so why is that ? http://www.snopes.com/tag/monsanto/ ,

And we are to trust the same Bureaucracy that sees the world as Over populated ,,,, HA !!! read this from the Washington Post 13 years ago , Tempe, AZ: I’ve heard that researchers are playing around with honeybees. Will my honey still be safe to eat if the honeybees are genetically modified?

About 50% of the drugs that are approved appear to have such serious side effects that most of them are taken off the market again within five years. Still everyone, including doctors, think that drugs have been properly tested for safety before being approved. The pharmaceutical industry knows that real safety testing first happens when many thousands of people take the drug. They also admit that, but doctors don’t notice it. They just want to print prescriptions, because it’s all they can do.

The Rockefellers are the only group that could piss away a $Billion dollars in research and come up with irrelevant info and no cures! Their stranglehold over education and research is total and needs to be broken up.

They ordered the horrific genocidal bombing of Dresden because it was the naturalpathic capital of the world, already curing cancer!

The Holistic and Integrative physicians, and those doing honest research (cancer), are dying mysteriously for attempting to expose and inform people of the extreme danger (vaccines) or found cures without the use of toxic treatment (cancer). Documentaries are coming out despite the real possibility of being murdered for doing an interview. Slowly the news is reaching the public. People fear hospitals and are losing trust in medicine, pharmaceuticals, and so on…all the while the 1% who have been cashing in for decades have turned to violence to protect the status quo they have fed to a trusting public through ingenious marketing. Have you noticed how much is being exposed? There is a war going on for the soul of our nation, for our very lives…freedom vs. tyranny. There is a movement happening. I pray. I am on the side of the truth of God.

So, the majority of the research done in the last 35-years, need to be done AGAIN, RIGHT this time….. Actually scratch that. NEW health model. The healer gets pain monthly as long as you stay well…..prevention focused model.
